Sounds interesting in theory, but the results are somewhat bizarre. For example, their published list of the top 200 "most critical" open-source C projects includes Urbit and Stellar, and includes micropython but does not include CPython.

As per Github (see languages section on bottom right), Cpython is 63% Python, and 29% C code, so its api returns Python as main language. cpython is in top 10 in python_top_200.csv

I.e. worse than ordinary search results?
